All-season Tires

[orangehues]

I want to buy a set of all-season tires for my 1994 Jaguar XJ-Series. A friend told me to check out the Toyo Proxes 4 tires. Is any one else familiar with it?

I have Goodyears Eagles on my s type.  Two years ago they cam top of the list of best all round tyres.  I have not had a problem with them.

I have Uniroyal Rainsports on my x-type. I find them fantastic in the wet, very good in dry, and very surefooted in snow and ice. Never had a wheelspin at all in recent weather.

hi

Toyo Proxes 4 are  performance summer tyre, typically found on Hot hatchbacks and would be a absolute nightmare in winter

trouble with all season tyres there typically softer compound, to be any use in winter, which means they wont last any where near as long

you would be better getting a set on winter tyres and either getting a cheap set of wheels, which there are plenty of, or just swappng the tyres just before winter and swapping back just before it warms up, that way you would at least get 4 or 5 years out of the winter tyres

cheers

Michelin Crossclimate Plus are amazing if you can get them in the appropriate size.

Michellin Crossclimate + are great on my XF.

There is a also a Goodyear equivalent with excellent reviews.

Hi Francis and welcome to the Club.

I have never had winter tyres or summer tyres, but find that all season tyres are the best and do well in all seasons.

I have had Goodyears for some time and find them rather good in the wet as well a the sunny weather.

Regards,

Peter
